Spain's government has refused a demand from Mexico's new president that it apologise for conquering the country five hundred years ago.Do I really need to explain this?....I do?....Well Ok...
Firing the first shots in what threatens to become a diplomatic row, the Left-wing Mexican leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced on Monday that he had sent letters to Spain’s King Felipe VI and Pope Francis urging them to apologize for crimes committed against the indigenous peoples of what is today Mexico.
Hernan Cortez and five hundred Spanish conquistadors were able to conquer the Aztec empire becuase they brought guns, armor, horses, dogs, and thousands of pissed off tribal warriors.
Everyone else in the region hated the Aztecs. Afterall, ritual human sacrifice tends to be off putting.
Coming next in great apologies:
-Germans demand Allies apologize for bombing...
-Vatican withdraws envoy after Judas apology row...
-Trump threatens Canada with invasion over refusal to apologize for sacking of Washington, burning of White House.
-State of Georgia demands US Army apologize for Sherman's March.
Oh, fuck off, Obrador.
